That seems most likely.

Given strong winds and oversized-boat wakes, it wouldn't take much to lodge any "drifting" boat.

.
There's just no way a boat wake lifted that boat high enough to place it on top of that ledge. There are no boats on the lake that could make a wake big enough to do that. There are some that could make a wake high enough, but not broad enough. It takes a very long period swell to lift an 8' 6" wide boat that high; boat wakes have a short period and will only make that sized boat roll or pitch with very little total lift. It was clearly driven aground.
